    Being a teacher I know the value of borrowing when someone else has already done decent work.
    These tutorials are basic, and will get you started.

    Great collection of articles, k-moe! I actually read that sparkfun multimeter guide when trying to diagnose the starter clutch issue as I am pretty green with all of this stuff. It looks like your link for that one was cut off in the begginning. it should be https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-use-a-multimeter?_ga=1.238289411.262114863.1436923213

    I wish I would have had that how to read a schematic earlier this week; I was trying to diagnose some electrical issues with my 80 CX500C that I need to get out of the basement so I can get to work on the Maxim.
